*************************************/
Addition info
The readme here is what you get in the linkman103-mod-version.zip, i hope in time to create a mysql version, really waiting to see baystate realease of his(mysql version) as this may save time and effort. The directory layout is setup ready for mysql and limiting access to admin though htaccess in a future release
It has a nice page layout as i have noticed quite a few dont change the scripts default design, customized graphics, all the settings to customise linkman are in the settings.php allowing for title and meta tags to be changed plus the text code area aswell, no template editing needed if you like the layout.
Htaccess for mod rewrite the url, so you can call a link to the links page like so index.html, providing you have support for mod rewrite
Bad word filter list has a good list of words to block erotic and pills ect. Edit this file wordfile.txt or disable the check in the settings if you want those sites. Note only exact word matches are matched.
Checks the reciprocal links page within the html content to make sure the words nofollow & noindex do not exist, or submission will be blocked if a match is found. This can be turned off in settings.php
Template header meta tags etc, all settings for the title and alike are in the settings.php
Linkman stores all user agent strings & os from the links page(index.html) enabling you to have a idea of the activeity as where its from and who, this can be disable in the settings.php and if you do receive a lot of traffic to your links page it would be best to disable or the log file will become huge. Linkman never had a user agent string and left blank spaces in the logs(everything has user agent strings these days browsers to search engines to u name it, even email harvesters) so i also gave linkman a user agent string "LinkMan - Link Check (http://www.phpjunkyard.com)".
Added a editor that can be accessed upon startup on entering the admin panel up top, this will give you the ability to edit your settings.php providing you have chmod settings.php to be writeable.
Live update checks this page for a version number http://www.phpjunkyard.com/php-link-manager.php if there is a difference you will be notified. I hope you read this Klemen Stirn, i dont quite like my code there for this but it is perfect if you were to upload a text file with just the numbers 1.03, i'll change the path to suite and it would be good but i wait for your feed back at worse it is no worries to disable.
The default page layout and design you see from the demo link http://www.pcaccessoriesparts.com/linkman-demo/ is what you get.
Most features that have been added you dont really see, linkman still looks like linkman in the admin panel. It still has the simplicity that linkman always has had.

Installing the modified version
Before you upload there is one setting that must be changed if you change the name of the folder or run it in root home drive
Settings.php
// Site folder name eg, linkman, if you have this in your home directory as linkman folder leave as is Example somewere.com/linkman/
// This example means you must change the path
// somewere.com/my/path/linkman/ you would use my/path/linkman
// If linkman is in your home drive eg somewere.com the below value will be empty, with no spaces
// No slash at start or trailing slash, if set correctly images will work in admin.php
$settings['site_folder'] = 'linkman';
Once you have done that all the rest can be edited online though the admin panel.
Upload the linkman folder to your server in ascii mode, once done upload the images to overwrite them in binary mode images folder (logo.gif, delete.gif, link.ico)
Then its time to chmod these files so they are writable
linkinfo.txt
file-useragent.txt (default settings are enabled, if you are not going to use it no need to chmod, but must be disabled in settings.php)
settings.php (default settings are enabled for the editor, if you are not going to use the online editor no need to chmod, but need to fully edit the file and re-upload)
